AN ACT REQUIRING ABLE-BODIED RECIPIENTS OF PUBLIC ASSISTANCE TO WORK OR VOLUNTEER.

SB 170 requires able-bodied adults receiving public assistance - including SNAP (food stamps), general assistance, and Medicaid - to work or volunteer at least 20 hours weekly. The bill amends state law to mandate this requirement for recipients aged 18-64 who are not caring for young children or disabled dependents. It directly affects thousands of low-income adults currently enrolled in these programs by linking continued eligibility to meeting the work/volunteer threshold. The law aims to promote self-sufficiency but does not specify penalties for non-compliance in the provided text.
